Milburn were a four-piece outfit from the city of Sheffield.

The band consisted of: Joe Carnall (lead vocals/bass), Louis Carnall (vocals/rhythm guitar), Tom Rowley (lead guitar) and Joe Green (drummer). They produced ear-grabbing riffs and essential Melodies, underpinned by the raw tones of the mod-punk era, which epitomises the youthfulness and abundant potential of the band. Milburn’s sound has most recently been described as the aggressive riffs of the Jam, with a touch of ska mixed with the hooks and sound of modern contemparies such as the Libertines and Razorlight.

The first vibrations of a buzz surfaced well back in 2002 when Milburn twice sold out the Boardwalk, a local venue respected nationwide, playing to a 350 capacity each time. 2002 also saw the band showcase for a band development programme at Sheffield’s Red Tape Studio’s. They were chosen to enter the programme from a selection of around 70 local acts and gathered essential recording and performance experience over that period. They went on to play successful gigs at the famous Cavern Club venue in Liverpool, The Garage in London and the Leadmill, Sheffield supporting Laika Dog (new band of Tony Wright (ex Terrorvision) and Cosmic Rough Riders.

July 2003 saw the recording and distribution of a demo which coincided with Milburn’s biggest gig at the time; Over 600 people at the Nelson Mandela building at Sheffield Hallam, followed by a further appearance at The Music Box in Manchester. After a further sell out late 2003 at the boardwalk, the band were invited to perform as part of a youth development at In The City.

I've only discovered them recently, like some of you. Where I live was probably a reason why I haven't heard of them before. Their music's great. I wish they didn't split up.

Just reading some peoples comments and it almost brings a tear to my eye, been a long time fan of Milburn and always will be! Everyone keep listening, just wish they had the recognition they deserved before they split! If you're a fan of the Milburn sound then you should check out 'The Backhanded Compliments' which is made up of half of Milburn, with a similar sound: http://www.last.fm/music/The+Backhanded+Compliments http://www.myspace.com/thebackhandedcompliments1

I think they made a couple of very good albums. Underrated, and their treatment by the Arctic Monkeys-besotted press was shocking. They obviously think that any Sheffield band has to be as good as them now. Yes they may be similar, but it doesn't mean comparisons need to be drawn between every song. The same has happened with Little Man Tate. Its shite.
